$310
A sumptuous red, this starts out with smoky, toasty oak aromas, with cherry and currant fruit underneath. Reveals earth, spice and iron notes as this plays out on the long finish. Shows ample structure, with well-integrated tannins and vivid acidity driving the spice-filled aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2045. 3 cases imported.

Grape
Pinot Noir
This popular red grape originated in Burgundy but has spread across the New World. Like its white Burgundian counterpart Chardonnay, Pinot Noir is early-budding, early-ripening and thin-skinned. The sites where it tends to thrive can experience tough growing conditions, which lead to more rigorous fruit selection and lower yields. This is one of the reasons that high-quality Pinot Noir often carries a higher price tag than other wines.
